FOX,
John▼Hamilton▼
Born January 8th 1925 in Toronto, and died there March 30th 2006
peacefully at Saint_Joseph's Hospital, predeceased by his parents
John Hamilton
FOX and Alice Arnott
FOX (née
WHITE/WHYTE) and his sister
Margaret DAVIDSON; and survived by his wife, Ella, sons Michael
and his wife
Susan,▼Rick▼ and his fiancee Michele
IRION,
Kevin▼
and his wife Sarah, Steven and his wife Jan and his daughter
Lisa; as well as his grandchildren Rebecca, Ben, Ella, Piers,
Jack, Edward, and Joe; his step-grandchildren Jennifer, Julian
and Chera FRANCOEUR; and his siblings William and Joseph
FOX and
Lucinda KRETCHMAN.
When▼ the war broke out young 'Jack' lied about
his age to join the Canadian Navy at age 17, served on the H.M.C.S.
Ontario and H.M.C.S. Matane, earning a Mentioned In Dispatches
citation. His career in radio took him from
CFJB in Brampton
to the Radio Sales Bureau of Canada in Toronto and finally to
CKNW in New Westminster British Columbia, thereby inspiring a
love affair with the natural beauty of a place where 'you only
get snow where you want it, on Christmas Cards and mountain tops.'
John was a committed member of Lions Club International, serving
as President of clubs in Brampton and New Westminster, where
he established many close Friendships which, along with those
forged during the war with his comrades-in-arms, flourished through
the exchange of letters and emails until the last days of his
life. But John's greatest passion, as anyone who knew him can
attest, was always his family. He will be greatly missed. Special
thanks to all the wonderful professionals who attended to John
in the Intensive Care Unit of Saint_Joe's. He could not have been
better cared for. As expressions of sympathy, donations may be
made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or the charity of one's
choice. For infor mation regarding a memorial ser vice to be
held at a future date as yet to be determined, please contact
the Ridley Funeral Home 416-259-3705 www.ridleyfuneralhome.com
